People said the same thing when he slumped earlier then he heated up and they shut up. He will heat up again after he shakes the rust off again and they will shut up again

2 doubles in his last 35 games.
Ugly.
Some declared him a middle order bat.
I warned against that thinking.
Said he could very well be a high BA, high OBP guy - but no evidence that he can become a middle order producer.
My advice?

Nothing wrong with high BA and high OBP. Cards need a couple guys that can move him around and drive him in.Melville wrote: ↑22 Jul 2025 20:14 pm Zero XBH's in 23 PA's.

Re: Herrera. I warned about this.
He has slider bat speed and he can’t lay off inside fastball and rolls out way too much
He’s a better breaking ball hitter frankly, likes that ball down and drive it

36 XBH's.
As for as power is concerned, that is an awfully long "slump".
Again, facts are facts.
Career BA over .290.
Career OBP in the .360's.
Very little power.
As I said, very good chance he is a high BA / high OBP MLB hitter.
But he is not the middle order RH power bat nearly everyone here believed several weeks ago.
They were fooled.
I was not.
But, that is what happens when facts are examined without bias and without agenda.
It is critically important for this organization to expect players to be who they are - and not attempt to force them to become someone they are not.
Failing that basic task time after time after time is precisely why the organization is in its current condition.

A MOB?
The standards have fallen off a cliff with fans and the organization.
The only player that remotely qualifies is Contreras.

Re: Herrera. I warned about this.
You've been playing with your Orchestra too much. On July 11, you bragged about advocating playing Herrera in the OF: "Stunning it took the team's 'leadership' this long to see the obvious." You agreed with Rockon that he could be "our power-hitting left fielder."
You fail to understand that your posts are in the system.

Weird how folks object when truth is told.
Losing 4 out of 5 will do that.
